NET BibleBerean Study Bible
1For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long! 1For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.
2Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver. 2Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
3You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah) 3You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah
4You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives. 4You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.
5Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins. He will scoop you up and remove you from your home; he will uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah) 5Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying: 6The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,
7"Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others." 7“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”
8But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God's loyal love. 8But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
9I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good. 9I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name—for it is good—in the presence of Your saints.
